I’ve said so many times how Britney reminds me so much of Judy in so many ways. Both have those sad big eyes and were taken advantage of by the people they were supposed to trust.

Controlled and Abused by whom? Her family? Her husband or her work relations?

I saw the movie Judy and her story reminded me so much to that of Britney especially the love she had for her children and the way they were taken away by her husband. How the studio wanted her to be perfect and have a wonderful residency when she didn't feel like it. How the press were so cruel to her. How she had to take medication to cope with her feelings. It's scary how similiar to Britney's life, also Marilyn's.

Can’t believe for such a lighthearted movie, The Wizard of Oz was a horror movie on set for her and many other cast members :kidcries:

And all the Little People actors playing the munchkins were apparently drunken *** pests. Seriously!

Honestly the movie “life with Judy Garland: me and my shadows” is a much better film that really captures “Judy” the Renae movie doesn’t quiet do it justice for me. You really see the full picture of what she went through (from being starved, drugged, belittled, getting married to get away from her controlling mother, and getting taken advantage of) it’s such a tragic story of someone who was one of the greatest talents MGM studios ever had.

There’s two more parts on YouTube. It really is a great film and the actress who plays Judy is a spitting image of her.

She signed a contract with MGM at 13. She went on to became their biggest star, but the head of MGM still called her his "fat pig with pigtails" or "little hunchback."

She wasn't overweight at all, but at 16/17/18 she still had baby fat. During the promo for Wizard of Oz/filming of Babes in Arms (she was 16/17) they put her in a diet they consisted of chicken soup, 80 cigarettes a day and pills (downers, amphetamines, sleeping pills, etc). They would even confiscate any other food.

Even so, she was their "child" actress so the studio and make up artists really wanted her to look childish and waif-ish. Including her body, so in Wizard of Oz she was playing a 12 year old in a dress using a corset and covering her breasts to look smaller.

Her mom was her manager/guardian and she was probably the most relevant person encouraging all that. The press even labelled her a stage mom. Her mom put her on a stage for the first time when Judy was 2 years old, as a new member of a little singing/acting group that was her two older sisters. At certain point, Judy accused her mom of mismanaging her, never showed fondness for her and even called her the real wicked witch of the west.

Two years after Wizard of Oz, Judy looked like fixated on marrying -- she was tired of that life and thought that a husband would protect her from her mom/film execs. She married at 18, got pregnant real soon but her mom and the studio execs intervened and insisted she had an ********. She got divorced like 8 months later and soon enough was pregnant again from another guy and aborted again for the same reason.

Eventually she got more adult roles (just a few years down the line) and then married again, Liza Minelli was born. But marriage didn't work again. And she had other marriages that didn't work down the line.

One of her husbands sucked her dry (apparently her management might have locked her out of earnings too but...) and she spent her later years broke. She was always owing the IRS millions in back taxes and at some point towards the end of her life she was homeless.

But yeah, since she was a teen she had a problem with substance abuse and mental health issues. It was a snowball. Started so that she would have more productivity, it went on to she having mental breakdowns and suicide attempts in the middle of filming (she was dropped by MGM for not being able to finish several movies in a row), it started seeping into her personal life that her children (when they were adults or teens) would take care of her. She lost custody too when she moved to London.

...and she had a comeback with A Star Is Born and Carnegie Hall performance.
